HEW BALLOT LAWS
Felder Introduced Australian Ballot Law
' Bill Yesterday .
HE EXPLAINS ITS PROVISIONS
He Thinks the L»w on Insanity Trial* For
Marder Ought to Be Amended
In Several Reep cts.
Atlant), Ga , November 4,—The
general assembly will be given an
opportunity to vote on the adoption of
the Australian ballot system during this
session.
Representative T. B. Felder, of Fulton,
introduced in the house this morning a
lengthy bill providing for the establish
ment of the system in this state. He
urged the legislators to adopt the bill and
it will become one of the most important
measures before the present session.
The bill provides for the establishment
of the secret booth system as it exists in
many Northern and Western states, and
it is designed to protect the voters and to
insure a fair ballot. The bill covers 40
pages of closely written matter.
He says that it is time some better elec
tion system should be established in
Georgia and that there is no system
which has giren more general satisfaction
than whst is known as the Australian
system.
Cclonel Felder thinks that the system
will insure a fair election, an honest
count and will protect the voters, guar
teeing them perfect security and secrecy
in casting their ballots. He said to
day :
“My bill provides for the establishment
of the Australian ballot system in Geor
gia, except that certain things and pro
visions of the general system are changed
to meet the conditions existing in this
state. The bill was carefully prepared
and it contains the best features of the
many ballot laws existing in other states.
The system has been tried and it is re
cognized as the best system in existance.
“The bill pro vids that election booths
shall be provided in each militia district
of Georgia and that not more than
200 voters shall vote at any one* booth.
Workers or heelers shall not be allowd to
go nearer than fifty feet of a booth
and the law provides for the strictest
secrecy and protection of the voters.
“The bill authorizes the governor to
appoint an election superintendent in
each county es the state, whose salary
is to be fixed by the county commis
sioners of each county. His term of
office shall be four years. He shall
have general charge of the elections
in the state and shall see that returns
are forwarded to the secretary of state
and have such other authority as is
necessary to carry out the work of
elections. It shall be the duty of the
secretary of state to furnish to the
superintendent of elections a certain
number of ballots for each voting
plaoe and ths ballots shall be furnish
ed to the managers of the polling place
Each ticket shall be numbered and
.furnished to the voter on application.
“When a voter asks for a ticket the
■manager giving it to him shall mark an
initial on the back of the ticket and no
other ballot will be received from the
voter. The voter may take the bal lot in
the bqpth and prepar it by stamping and
he shall be required to mark his own
ticket, execept he be blind, in which
case he shall be aided by the managers.
By this system no voter can take a ballot
in the booth with him and succeed in
having it cast except such ballot may be
given him by the managers.
“It is made a criminal offence for any
printer or other person to furnish ballots
to any person except the superintendent
of election. Every safeguard is placed
about the voter and the system is a splen
did one. The bill is designed to take ef
fect six months after its approval by the
governor.”

Mrs. Laura E. Mims, of Dawson, Ga.,
says: - “A small pimple of a strawberry
color appeared on my cheek; it soon
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand
ing all efforts to check it. My
eye became terribly
inflamed,, snd was so
swollen thatfor quite
a while I could not
see. The doctors
said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type, and after ex
hausting their efforts
without doing me
any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When in
formed that tny father had died from
the same disease, they said I must die,
as hereditary Cancer was incurable.
“At this crisis, I was advised to try
S.S.S., anffin a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months, then it began to
heal. I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en
tirely. This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease.”

has a bill in view providing for allowing
citizens to vote on payment of poll tax

WRITTEN AT RANDOM.
“It is not often that an old-time cir
cus clown gets a setback that throws
him clean off his bearings,” said a
member of that profession not long
ago. “That’s just what happened to
me one day last summer, and I can’t
help smiling when I recall my own
confusion.
“We were showing at a little town
in the western part of the state, and
had a big afternoon house. I had tried
a new bit of business some time be
fore, and it went so well that I worked
it at every ferformance. In a grave
voice I would inquire if there was a
doctor in the audience.
“Os course, there was sure to be one,
and the chances were that a majority
of the people present either knew or
had heard of him. When he stood up
in response to my inquiry I would
thank him for his promptness and
congratulate him on having located
in a town that afforded him so many
advantages.
“Then I would say something about
the conveniences of the village ceme
tery, whereat the audience was pretty
sure to roar with laughter, while the
bamboozled doctor hastily resumed
his seat. It was rather coarse, and not
very funny, but so long as it took well
I didn’t care for that.
“On the particular afternoon of
wbjch I speak I called for the doctor,
as usual, and expected, of course, to
see him pop up. But he didn’t pop. I
was trying to think of some humorous
remark to make to fit tile occasion,
when I noticed a bright-faced young
woman standing up only a little dis
tance from me.
“ ‘A a-are you a doctor?” I stam
mered.
“‘I am,’ she answered, in such a
pretty and dignified way. Say, you
could have knocked me down with a
straw, I couldn’t work that coarse
old gag on that sweet young woman,
yet for the life of me for a half-minute
I was completely done up. Then I
said: “Will you kindly come this way?’
Then I helped her down from the
seats, and she followed me across the
ring and into the big dressing tent.
I saw all the ring people doing their
best to keep from roaring at my pre
dicament, but I gave them a scowl
that, kept them quietr
“Jimmy Cummins had fallen and
broken his arm up at Bacyrus, and he
was walking about the dressing tent-.
I called him over.
“ ‘Jimmy, I said, ‘I don’t like the
way that arm was set, and I’ve
brought you a doctor.’ Jimmy gave
me the queerest look, but he’s quick
witted, and one of the most gentle
manly athletes that ever stepped into
the ring.
“ ‘Glad of it; Doc,’ he said, ‘I didn’t
fancy the job myself.’
“ ‘Sit down here and let me look at
it,’ said the girl doctor —as ccol as you
please. I had to go back to the ring,
and left them there together.
“She was unwrapping the bandages
as swiftly and neatly as any hospital
sharp could do it. Jimmy was looking
at her lively fingers with an expres
sion half-comical, half-shame-faced.
When I came back she was putting
everything in place.
“ ‘Well, what’s the verdict?’ I jocu
larly inquired.
“ ‘You were right, Doc,’ answered
Jimmy; “it was a bungling job, but
Dr. Brownson has fixed it all right.’
“ ‘Good,’ I said, ‘and now I’ll escort
the doctor back to the street again,
asking her to kindly pardon the way
in which her afternoon’s enjoyment
was interrupted.’
•“You needn’t mind, Doc,’ said
Jimmy; ‘l’ll escort the doctor myself.’
“When Jimmy came back I said to
him- ‘Jim, of course, I’ll stand the
cost of that little surgical job. The
joke is on me all around.’ ‘No, you
won’t,’ said Jimmy. *1 still pay my
own bills. .The fact is, Doc, I’ve made
up my mind to drop out of the show
for a couple of weeks and get straight
ened up. This is a pretty town, and I
can get well here a great deal faster
than knocking along with the show.’
‘Yes,’ I smilingly added, ‘and the
medical attendance seems to be very
satisfactory, too.’
“So Jimmy dropped out of the show,
and his partner went on and did the
dancing barrel and the cannon ball
act. The show broke up soon after
and I haven’t seen Jimmy since.
“Did he marry the doctor? Well, do
you know, I’ve often wondered about
that myself.” M. M. F.

tion at home. XV ith this purpose the following list of Rome merchants, industries and
